Women introduced in mediæval romance not unlike witches, and under the sway of Demogorgon. In Orlando Innamorato we meet with the Fata Morgana; in Bojardo, with the Fata Silvanella. The Fates Nera and Bianca, the protectresses of Guidone and Aquilante; the Fata della Fonti, from whom Manricardo obtains the arms of Hector; and Alcina, sister of Morgana, who carries off Astolfo. In Tasso we have the three daughters of Morgana, whose names are Morganetta, Nivetta, and Carvilia; we have also Dragontina, Montana, Argea (called the queen of the Fates), protectress of Floridante), Filidea (sister of Argea), and several others. In the Adone of Marini we have the Fata named Falsirena.
